Keeps polish on natural nails

My sister introduced me to this product to keep the polish on natural nails longer. I love it, the color on my toes stay for two weeks without a touch up, and my nails look great longer than without it!

My Favorite Base Coat

Great product! Makes most nail polishes, both cheap and expensive hold firm on my nails from 5-10 days. After 2-3 days I do see some minor (like < 1mm in size) wearing at the tips, but unlike with every other base/topcoat combo I've tried, that wearing never seems to contribute to larger chips or peeling. With this I can usually make a manicure last a week and still look decent when I take it ...read moreoff. Any time I get lazy and skip using this product I regret having done so the very next day. One drawback I noticed is that after a few months of weekly usage, some of my nails (not polish, *nail*) started peeling. It was a bit distressing at first, but I tried putting on a nail strengthener underneath Stickey and that seems to fix it. The extra layer between my nail and Stickey, thankfully, doesn't weaken Stickey's effectiveness any, so I'm not marking down the product by much. Obviously, I'd prefer a basecoat that did Stickey's job without the cost to my nails, but I can't find anything that works as well as it does, so I'm inclined to believe that's just the price you have to pay to keep a manicure looking nice for so long!

Makes Nails Peel

I used this for about 3 weeks before I realized it had ruined my nails. It worked ok as a base, but it made my nails peel and they became very weak. It took weeks for me to get my nails back to their original strength. I like the other products I've used from CND, but I would advise everyone to stay away from Stickey!
